You took that comment totally the wrong way.
So...

Racist and sexist jokes, spoken not typed, and out of range of the person being ridiculed = Okay

Jokes about death = Not okay

Is that more accurate?

Ok, this is the last post.

If you guys don't see the difference between making fun of people who were brutally murdered as opposed to cracking harmless jokes about different groups of people, you need more help than I thought.

For the record, the jokes are like a 6/10 on the inappropriate meter.

Last post I swear. This argument is not worth my time.

Racist jokes are harmless but these jokes are somehow completely inappropriate? Really? That's the leg you're going to stand on?

It's a shame this is your last post cause I'm new to this argument.

I would however like to point out that they are not and have never made fun of the dead guy. They're making fun of the situation, the justice system, etc. No one know the dead to make fun of him.

There's no reason to lose your head over this discussion.

If you really want to take the moral high stance here, you would know that all forms of bigotry and sexist, racist and other jokes of bad taste aren't harmless and reflect structured inequalities in our society.

If you can't even control your own posting, how do you expect to control the posting of others?

Or let's make fun of Phil Hartman for getting shot....hahahahah, so funny. Or how about Chris Benoit killing his young son?? I mean, that's so funny, let's make fun of it.

If you guys are making fun of this, then I guess nothing is out of bounds.

I'm all for inappopriate humor. God knows I make horribly racist and sexist jokes all the time, but I know where to draw the line. You guys clearly don't and truly need to check yourself.
"Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute to talk off-stage
And tell you how I became the victim of a thing called roid-rage.

In the fields of Canada, born and raised,
Choking other men is how I spent most of my days.
Headbuttin', cross-facin', as a technical king,
All while shootin' some steroids outside of the ring.
When I lost my iPod, I was up to no good.
Skipped a match and flew back to my neighborhood.
I took one too many roids, my wife gasped for breath,
I said "Stop moving your little ass while I choke you to death!"

I whistled for my son and when he came near,
He still had "Fragile-X" and the physique of a queer.
If anything I could say that this kid was rare,
But I thought "Nah, forget it" and deprived him of air!

I went down to the gym around 7 or 8,
And I yelled to myself "Yo Chris, smell ya latah!"
Hung myself to death, at a very young age,
Now I'm burning in hell, all because of roid-rage."

Racism hurts all people. Cutting off someone's head only hurts one.

That's because we'd leave the racist jokes to bigots like you.
